Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ball end mill for the chipforming machining of metal workpieces.
  • the end mill comprises a tool body that is rotatable about its longitudinal axis.
  • the forward end of the tool body is hemispherically shaped and has several separate pockets for the receipt of indexable inserts.
  • One of the inserts is substantially triangular in shape and is mounted tangentially in the mantle surface of the tool body close to its center such that the main cutting edge of the insert is oriented generally radially and has one of its corner portions located at the center of the tool body.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a polygonal throw away insert specifically designed for use with such an end mill.
  • Such ball nose end mills with indexable inserts are previously known, for instance as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,252,480. That ball nose end mill includes a central insert having a cutting edge of convex shape along a portion of the periphery of one of its side surfaces for the purpose of reducing the thrust forces.
  • a basically similar ball end mill with throw away inserts is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,618,296 in which all inserts have a generally triangular shape and are tangentially oriented in the tool body. The convex formation is achieved by making the outermost surface of the insert partially convex in shape.
  • each insert of the above-described known ball end mills becomes high and are unfavorably distributed over the tool body. Further, each insert must be active during a long cutting engagement in the workpiece. It would, therefore, be desirable to provide a ball end mill with several inserts that are mounted in an optimal fashion over the mantle surface of the end mill so that a more limited portion of the cutting insert corner comes into engagement with the workpiece at different engagements.
  • a ball nose end mill comprising a rotary body which is rotatable about a longitudinal axis.
  • a forward end surface of the body is of generally hemispherical shape and includes a plurality of cavities.
  • Indexable cutting inserts are mounted in respective ones of the cavities.
  • a central one of the inserts is of substantially triangular shape and is mounted closely adjacent the longitudinal axis.
  • the front insert includes a forwardly facing, substantially triangular top face, and a plurality of edge faces intersecting one another to form three corner regions and intersecting the top face to form therewith a plurality of main cutting edges.
  • Each of the main cutting edges is disposed between two of the corner regions and is convexly curved when viewed in a direction toward its respective edge face.
  • the central insert is mounted such that one of the main cutting edges thereof constitutes an active cutting edge positioned in a cutting orientation.
  • One of the corner regions of the central insert is situated at an end of the active cutting edge and is located immediately adjacent the axis.
  • the cutting inserts include additional inserts of substantially rectangular shape.
  • Each of the additional cutting inserts includes a circumferentially facing, generally rectangular top face and a plurality of edge faces interconnecting such top face to form therewith a plurality of cutting edges.
  • Each of the additional inserts is arranged such that one cutting edge thereof constitutes an active cutting edge positioned in a cutting orientation.
  • the plurality of additional inserts includes first and second additional inserts whose cutting edges are convexly curved when viewed in a direction toward their respective top faces.
  • the first and second additional inserts have their active cutting edges disposed on opposite sides of the axis and lying generally in a first plane which contains the axis.
  • the present invention also relates to an indexable cutting insert which is adapted for use in a ball nose end mill.
  • That insert comprises a substantially flat bottom face from which the insert is to be supported, and a generally convexly top face disposed opposite the bottom face.
  • a plurality of edge faces interconnect the top and bottom faces and intersect the top face at an acute angle.
  • the intersection of the end faces with the top face forms a plurality of main cutting edges and a plurality of secondary cutting edges.
  • the secondary cutting edges are located at respective corner regions of the insert and are convexly curved when the top face is viewed in plan.
  • Each of the main cutting edges is located between respective pairs of the corner regions and is generally convexly curved when viewed in a direction toward its respective edge face.
  • Each of the main cutting edges is straight when the top face is viewed in plan.
  • Each of the secondary cutting edges intersects first and second ones of the main cutting edges at first and second points of intersection, respectively.
  • a first line tangent to the first point of intersection coincides with the first main cutting edge as the top face is viewed in plan.
  • a second line tangent to the second point of intersection forms an angle with the second main cutting edge as the top face is viewed in plan.

  • a ball nose end mill has a cylindrical shank 10 rotatable in a direction of cutting CD around a central longitudinal axis 11.
  • the shank terminates in a substantially hemispherical cutting face 12 in which there are provided cavities.
  • the surface 12 is generated by a radius R' (see FIG. 2).
  • the cavities are shaped to receive indexable cutting inserts 13-19 made preferably of cemented carbide.
  • a central insert 13, i.e., the insert located close to the longitudinal axis 11, includes a bottom face 20 and a top face 21 (see FIG. 1A).
  • the insert 13 is of substantially triangular shape when viewed in plan, i.e., in a direction toward its top face (see FIG. 1).
  • the top face 21 is convexly shaped, more specifically is in the general shape of a portion of a sphere so as to generally conform to the profile of the hemispherical face 12 (see FIG. 3). All of the additional inserts 14-19 of this end mill are substantially rectangular in shape and have planar, parallel bottom and top faces.
  • top faces of all of the inserts 13-19 are centrally apertured for the receipt of central clamp screws for securing the inserts to the end mill body. That aperture extends completely through the top and bottom faces of the respective insert.
  • Each insert includes edge faces (e.g., see the edge faces 22 of the insert 13) which intersect the top face to form cutting edges therewith.
  • the central insert 13 has three identical cutting edges 23, 24, 25. Bevels 33, 32 and 31 are situated immediately inwardly of the cutting edges 23, 24, 25, respectively.
  • the cutting inserts 13-19 are of positive shape, i.e., each of the edge faces thereof intersects the top face at an acute angle.
  • the degree of inclination of the edge faces relative to the top face varies around the insert. More specifically, the inclination of such edge face is greater at the corner regions of the insert than at the intermediate regions of the edge face.
  • intermediate region is meant a region of the edge face situated between the corner regions of the insert.
  • First and second ones of the additional inserts 16 and 19 have their active cutting edges located on opposite sides of the axis 11 and substantially in a common first radial plane Pl which contains the axis 11 (see FIG. 1).
  • a third one of the additional inserts 15 has a convexly curved active cutting edge arranged substantially in a second plane P2 which is different from the first plane and which contains the axis 11.
  • Fourth and fifth ones of the inserts 14, 18 have straight main cutting edges arranged substantially in a common plane, e.g., the second plane P2, which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the first plane Pl and which contains the axis 11.
  • the inserts 14, 15 and 18 have their active cutting edges arranged substantially in the second plane P2.
  • a sixth one of the additional inserts 17 has a convexly curved active cutting edge arranged substantially in a third plane P3 which contains the axis 11 and which is different from both of the first and second planes P1, P2.
  • the sixth additional insert 17 could be positioned such that its cutting edge is arranged substantially within the second plane P2.
  • the inserts 15 and 17 are located axially rearwardly relative to the central insert 13 and axially forwardly relative to the inserts 16 and 19.
  • the inserts 16 and 19 are located axially forwardly relative to the inserts 14 and 18.
  • the inserts 14 and 18 have straight active cutting edges arranged substantially diametrically opposite one another and extending substantially parallel to the axis 11.
  • the inserts 14 and 18, which are located axially rearwardly of all other inserts, are provided with straight elongated main cutting edges 14a and 18a.
  • the more forwardly located inserts 15, 16, 17 are provided with cutting edges 15a, 16a, 17a which are convexly curved when viewed in a direction toward the respective top face (e.g., see FIG. 4).
  • the inserts 19, which is visible in FIG. 1, has a design corresponding to that of the inserts 15, 16, 17.
  • Inserts 14 and 18 could alternatively be square in shape. In another embodiment, insert 14 could have a design similar to insert 15.
  • the cutting edges of the insert 13 comprise a plurality of main cutting edges 23, 24, 25 each extending between the insert corners, and a plurality of secondary cutting edges 26 extending around the insert corners.
  • Each of the secondary cutting edges 26 is generated by a radius R (see FIG. 1).
  • Each main cutting edge is convexly curved when viewed in a direction toward the respective edge face (see FIG. 1A).
  • FIG. 1A When the insert 13 is viewed in plan (FIG. 1), it can be seen that each of the secondary cutting edges 26 is convexly curved. As a result, the chips produced will be curved and small and thus can be easily transported away from the center of the tool.
  • Each of the secondary cutting edges 26 intersects two of the main cutting edges.
  • the secondary cutting edge 26 shown at the lower right in FIG. 1 intersects the main cutting edge 25 at point 27', and intersects the main cutting edge 23 at point 27A.
  • a line drawn tangent to point 27A coincides with the main cutting edge 23.
  • a line drawn tangent to the point 27' forms an obtuse angle ⁇ with the main cutting edge 25.
  • each of the secondary cutting edges is not symmetrical about a plane bisecting the corner.
  • the edges 24 and 25 intersect the secondary edges at points 27" and 27"', respectively.
  • the insert 13 is positioned such that the main cutting edge 23 constitutes the "active" main cutting edge (the other main cutting edges 24, 25 being inactive).
  • the secondary cutting edge which constitutes an active secondary cutting edge is the one located adjacent the center axis 11 of the mill. It is preferable that the active secondary cutting edge intersect or at least nearly intersect that center axis when viewed in FIG. 1.
  • edge build-up can occur as the result of the adhesion of undesirable material to the cutting edge (the undesirable material coming from the workpiece), and could lead to premature failure of the cutting edge.
  • the top face 21 of the insert 13 is shaped so that each of the three corner regions 28 is located at a different elevation relative to other portions of the top face 21.
  • a central portion 36 of the top face which surrounds the aperture 28 is situated at an elevation higher than the corner region 28, as shown in FIG. 7.
  • an intermediate portion 30 of the top face situated between the portion 36 and the corner region 28 is at a lower elevation than adjacent beveled portions 31, as is apparent from FIG. 8.
  • the insert 13 is so constructed and arranged that, as shown in FIG. 2, two lines drawn from a center of the radius R' (FIG. 2) to the points 27', 27", respectively, form an acute angle ⁇ of about 30 degrees.
  • the insert 13 includes a plurality of interjacent surface portions extending from the central portion 36 to the mid-region of a respective main cutting edge.
  • each interjacent surface portion includes (i) a beveled face 32 (or 31 or 33) having a width a, (ii) a flat part 34 (having a width b) which is parallel to the bottom face 20, and (iii) an obliquely inclined part 35 (having a width c) which connects the flat part 34 with the central portion 36.

  • this end mill As a drilling end mill. For instance, it has been found possible to drill a hole to a depth of one-half of the diameter of the end mill in a normally workable metal workpiece. It is also possible to use this tool for drilling obliquely in relation to the longitudinal axis, i.e., so-called ramping.
  • the invention makes such metal working possible within an angular range from the angle 0 to 90 degrees.
  • FIGS. 9-11 An alternative embodiment of the central insert is shown in FIGS. 9-11 in which the central insert 13A is provided with recesses 37 of concave shape, each of which intersects and extends through the respective main cutting edge for the purpose of obtaining increased clearance of the central portion of the tool during a working operation. This contributes to avoiding small pieces breaking off from the edge which could cause tool failure.
  • This recess 37 starts at about the point 27' (or 27" or 27"') and extends along a limited portion of the adjacent main cutting edge.
  • the recess 37 extends obliquely inwards in relation to the main cutting edge, whereby the extension inwards substantially corresponds to the double the width a of the beveled face 33.
  • the insert 13A is provided with a strengthening face 38 on its chip surface which extends adjacent to the beveled face 33.
  • the strengthening face 38 intersects with the beveled face at an angle of 75 to 85 degrees.
  • the clearance face 22 extends downwards and intersects at an obtuse angle with an edge surface 39 which is obliquely oriented in relation to the bottom face 20.
